Other name(s): P4HA (gene name); P4HB (gene name); protocollagen hydroxylase; proline hydroxylase; proline,2-oxoglutarate 4-dioxygenase; collagen proline hydroxylase; hydroxylase, collagen proline; peptidyl proline hydroxylase; proline protocollagen hydroxylase; proline, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase; prolyl hydroxylase; prolylprotocollagen dioxygenase; prolylprotocollagen hydroxylase; protocollagen proline 4-hydroxylase; protocollagen proline dioxygenase; protocollagen proline hydroxylase; protocollagen prolyl hydroxylase; prolyl 4-hydroxylase; prolyl-glycyl-peptide, 2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase, 4-hydroxylating; procollagen-proline 4-dioxygenase (ambiguous)

Systematic name: procollagen-L-proline,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (4-hydroxylating)

Comments: Requires Fe2+ and ascorbate.The enzyme, which is located within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, catalyses the 4-hydroxylation of prolines in -X-Pro-Gly- sequences. The 4-hydroxyproline residues are essential for the formation of the collagen triple helix. The enzyme forms a complex with protein disulfide isomerase and acts not only on procollagen but also on more than 15 other proteins that have collagen-like domains.
